Friendship Therapy

No one ever expects to lose a best friend who once felt like family. But somewhere between miscommunication, unmet expectations and emotional distance, something shifts. What used to feel safe and effortless now seems tense, confusing, or one-sided. And trying to fix it by texting first, apologizing more, and holding your breath through awkward silences feels like a band-aid trying to cover the grand canyon. While it might appear as though the gaps in communication are just too big, friendship therapy can help.

When Friendship Starts to Feel Fragile

When your close friendship begins to crumble, it can hurt as deeply as the end of a romantic relationship. That’s why friendship therapy exists . . . to help you both slow down, understand what’s really happening beneath the surface, and rebuild the connection you both value.

Some areas friendship therapy can help are:

  • Life transitions

  • Disconnection

  • Boundary issues

  • Grief and loss

  • Repair after rupture

  • Communication breakdowns

  • One-sided effort or mismatched expectations

  • Jealousy

  • Betrayal

Your friendship might need:

  • A Reset Button

  • To Rebuild the Foundation

  • Closure (and that’s okay!)

No matter the need, friendship therapy can help you move forward with understanding and peace. After all, strong friendships don’t just happen; they are nurtured and repaired through honesty, compassion, courage, and the willingness to listen.
